I have read many books about musical theatre through out conservatory and this is by far the best. Such a valuable resource for any musical theatre actor.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy RMCwonderful1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A NECESSITY FOR YOUR MUSICAL THEATRE LIBRARY!By Eric AlsfordAs a musical director/conductor and vocal coach; I find Stephen Purdys Musical Theatre Song book to be a highly valuable asset to any working professional; student or teacher/coach! I continually see professionals and students overwhelmed in their search for the perfect audition material that suits them best. This book helps focus that search by first defining genres; styles; eras and voice types; and then goes farther to give substantial examples and lists of suggested songs within each of those parameters. It is a well researched and thorough addition to the musical theatre textbook canon! - ERIC ALSFORD
